The UN World Food Programme is sending up to three months worth of emergency rations to some 60,000 flood victims in Nepal.

However, given the number of families affected and the remoteness of the impacted areas, the agency estimates that it will need some $1.5 million to meet the basic food requirements of the flood victims in the Himalayan country.

Some two million people were affected by devastating floods in Pakistan when Cyclone Yemyin struck the country in late June.
